| Comment | Luperosaurus sorok was preliminarily assigned to the new subgenus Rhacogekko within Gekko. See Wood et al. 2019 for details. |
| Etymology | The species name is derived from Malay, meaning "to hide", in reference to its presumed ecologically cryptic nature. Rhacogekko is derived from the Greek noun rhakos, meaning "rag" or "wrinkle" in relation to the rounded lobe-like fringes or wrinkles on the lateral folds of the body. |
